Spoiler!

I can't believe that Sanjaya is still there, I'm also a little surprised Haley is still on. I'm watching Sundance get kicked off right now. I predict Haley , Sanjaya, and another guy will be the next three to go. But we can all see how well I have predicted in the past :lol: . I think Sundance is doing a better job on his song tonight than last night.

I'm surprised Haley stayed over Sabrina....and I don't really get Phil's popularity. Something about him creeps me out a bit. Maybe I'm missing something...

Mango, he kind of looks like a cancer patient or something that came back from the dead... Maybe that's it? He kind of creeps me out too, but I also see his star appeal. He has a good sense of humor and a decent voice as well. Plus, he's in the marines and that always helps voting on American Idol.

I really liked Phil's songs up until this past week he can't pull off Leann Rhimes though. He does have a strange look. I have to admitt, Haley is very pretty.

I think Sundance & Sabrina were the wrong choices to go home.

I really liked Haley from her original audition, so I wasn't upset that she made it - we knew there would be one girl that we liked that didn't get through. It's just too bad for Sabrina - I wonder if she was just too much like Stephanie & Jordin that one of them was bound to go early - splitting the "modern R&B vibe voice".

Sanjaya is just not very good - I have no idea why he's still around, other than votefortheworst.com keeping him in things.

My faves are Gina, Melinda, Chris S, & Blake, so I was happy they all made it. My husband's faves were Sundance, Sabrina, & Stephanie, so he had a pretty rough night with only one of his faves getting through to the finals.

No idea who will win it all this year - I feel like there's just not a clear front runner.

What do you guys think after tonight?

Blake was awesome in my eyes! I still liked Gina, and I am happy to see Haley coming around. Simon even commenting her. Lakisha is another favorite of mine.

I thought Blake was AMAZING!!! I can't believe the judges didn't get it. I would love to hear that on the radio!!!

Melinda and Blake are my favorites now. I think they both bring a real unique-ness to the competition.

I used Schar cracker crumbs. They make the PERFECT crab cake. I think they make the crab cakes more moist than bread crumbs do. I can give you my recipe if you want. This is by far my favorite crab cake recipe. You could probably also use gluten free corn chex-type cereal and have them turn out wonderful.

I really think a guy will win this year. I am still upset sundance is no longer on there. I think he would have done great last night.

I'll be really p'd if Sanjaya or Brandon don't go home after last night. Sanjaya hasn't sounded good since the auditions. Brandon has had like 3 bad weeks in a row. They're just not cutting it. I miss Sundance too. He was one of my favorites even though he had a couple of substandard performances. His voice was really amazing.

What was with Sanjaya's hair? It's not good looking..

I still like Gina!

To quote Randy "I just wasn't loving it". Last night was not as good as I would have hoped. Blake was good, Gina was fun even though she does have a habit of yelling power songs. Of corse Melinda was awesome. Even though there were other great singers, I found the performances boring. I can not believe how bad Chris S. killed the song. I hope next week is better. :)

I only watched (sort of) for the first hour...it was too painful to watch, lol. I DID like Melinda's performance though. I couldn't watch Sanjaya at all...that was excruitiating. :lol:

I walked away at 9:30, John continued to watch. He said he liked Chris Richardson but the judges hated it. I left after I saw Blake. I did get bored. How did they expect guys to do Diana Ross though?

I liked Blake, Melinda, & Gina. I liked Haley, too, we liked her since the auditions, so it was great to see her performing well again. But overall, I was fairly bored, things just need to get better from all the contestants.

I hope that Sanjaya or Brandon goes home--To quote Randy, Sanjaya was "almost unlistenable." I just wanted it to stop! I am not normally someone who would be so mean, but he really needs to be off the show. Yipes!

Unfortunately, Sanjaya is Votefortheworst.com's new pick since Sundance and Antonella are both gone. Ugh... He may be around for a while. Hopefully not.

We were discussing it in the office today and one of my coworkers also said they think Sanjaya will be around for awhile because of the vote for the worst. Sad!

The show was very amusing to me. I found the singers who forgot their words surprisingly entertaining. I believe Sanjaya is the best worst contestant they have ever had. The two pierced ears, the curly hair, the painfully shy singing... I laughed, cringed, covered my ears, listened again just to begin the process over. I was fully engaged. Vote for the worst is very funny. I don't vote, but it I were younger, I'd vote for the worst.

The best way to watch Idol these days is to record it and then fast forward through most of it LOL. All the guys (except maybe Blake) should go home.

I really liked Phil, Blake and Gina until this week - still like them, but now I have a new favorite - Jordin!

I thought she had the best performance BY FAR last night...

Great... I haven't gotten to watch it yet. We recorded it. Don's putting Tori down now and then we're going to watch. I'm assuming though by that response that Sanjaya didn't get voted off. Man... I hope it wasn't Blake or Melinda to go...

      @glucel, There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia. Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen. In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      iron digestibility

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
